Linux

Hello All.

First, I have been daily driving Linux(POP_OS) for nearly a year and outside of some frustrations, it has been a great experience. I expect a certain level of weirdness and quirks. I was using my Windows laptop to get some stuff done, and wanted to listen to some music over Bluetooth. This is where I messed up. I guess recent Windows updates just kind of break Bluetooth?? Every fix I have googled and tried failed to fix the problem. I kind of expect this behavior from Linux. I don't expect it from an OS developed by a For Profit company.

Long story short, recommend me a distro that runs well on an Asus laptop with an Integrated and Discreet GPU. If Windows breaks functionality, then there isn't a big reason to keep a Windows Machine around. If you say Arch, I intend to bully you but I'm open to any suggestions. Microsoft isn't worth keeping around, even as a backup/standby.

I appreciate you <3

Quick Edit: This received a lot more engagement than I thought. Thank you all for the recommendations. I'll spin up some VM's and test them out. Thank you all for the guidance. May your day/night/other be most excellent!
